NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Starting in 2027, players competing on LIV Golf will be barred from membership on the DP World Tour, forcing golfers to choose between the two circuits.
- Unlike the PGA Tour, which has excluded LIV Golf members since 2022, the DP World Tour had previously allowed LIV players to compete but is now enforcing stricter rules to protect its tour.
- This policy change comes shortly before the October 25 deadline for DP World Tour membership declarations, with notable players like Jon Rahm already declining to participate under the new terms.
- LIV Golf recently secured up to $300 million in financing from BC Partners Credit following its Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing, aiming to establish a player-owned, team-focused global league.
- Only DP World Tour players will be eligible for the Ryder Cup in Europe in 2027, impacting LIV Golf members like Rahm and Hatton who participated in the 2025 event.
